Mark Rutte, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of the Netherlands:

"The Kadaster project is based on the Fit-For-Purpose methodology: fast, affordable and participatory. Each of you measured your own parcel."

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte hands out the first land title to a peasant woman in the FFP project of Kadaster and the Colombian Land Agency in the Apartadó region in Colombia.

The Prime Minister gets the Collecter / Aurora application explained by Javier Morales of the ITC (University of Twente, Netherlands).

Mathilde Molendijk, regio manager Latin America of Netherlands' Kadaster:

"Farmers can only measure their own parcel when they use an app on their phone which is easy to use and 100% reliable like Aurora."

“A land title gives me the opportunity to live in a dignified house.”

Carlos Enrique Moreno (key advisor to the Colombia president in Colombia) stresses the importance to think out of the box: “The Dutch- Colombian Fit-For-Purpose methodology is an excellent example for scaling up massively."

“Thanks to a land title I can get a loan from the bank to invest in mechanic herbicide. I have 3 hectares of land.”
